Last time I posted a brief glimpst at Father Benjamin. This week you get to see him in action as he takes charge or a strangely out of control six year old!

​ Instead of the usual contrite expression at her Aunty Sabina’s scolding, Lydia pounding her little fists on the table until the plates rattled. When Tess reached to grasp her daughter’s arm, Lydia twisted away, jumping from her chair and screaming, “No! Leave me alone!” She fled to the end of the table where she was abruptly caught up in the arms of the friar, who lifted her from her feet and swung her into a semi-circle in order to plant her firmly in the chair closest to him. When she would have sprung back up, the gentle push of his hands on her shoulders stilled her motion.

I hope you like the snippet this week that I posted for Elizabeth. No doggies in it, so I'm just glad that crazy little girl doesn't live with me! Be sure to visit the other Weekend Writing Warriors and Snippet Sunday Authors for more great reads!

I could visualize the scene quite well from your snippet! Putting on my Moderator hat for a moment, I didn't see the link back to Weekend Writing Warriors site. Maybe it was my browser, but can you please make sure this is one? Thanks!

Sometimes kids need more showing than telling (a lot like us writers, hey?). His picking her up and swinging her around to the chair worked better than anyone scolding her. Or maybe he has magic powers. LOL
